Transform simple sketches into fully detailed and creative lettering pieces using digital tools.
The beauty of lettering is that it adds a feeling of authenticity that helps clients connect with their audiences, whether it is a social media post, book cover, or editorial illustration. Learn in this online course how to make your words and sentences stand out with the lettering artist, designer, and illustrator Alanna Flowers. There is a lot of meaning behind Alanna’s designs, and she has a passion for creating pieces that inspire and speak on important issues and communities dear to her heart. She has worked with Adobe, American Greetings, and the Los Angeles Times.
In this course, choose a quote that resonates with you, connect your words to an aesthetic that fits, and create a final product that communicates your message on another level. Alanna shows you the ins and outs of Adobe Fresco to help your visions come to fruition.
First, meet your teacher, Alanna Flowers. She tells the path she has taken as an artist and how she eventually found her true passion in lettering. She will take you through influences that fuel her work, which may also help you find your lettering groove.
Then look for your inspirations. Pick out the quote you want to illustrate and create a composition and moodboard with it in mind. From there, explore different stylistic possibilities and choose one that suits the energy and emotions behind your phrase.
After defining your foundations, set up your virtual canvas, create a series of thumbnail sketches, and scale them within Fresco. Then Alanna helps you select a design and develop the quote one word at a time. Experiment with different brushes and styles until you find what serves your unique illustration.
Finally, learn how to tackle the finishing details — like dimension and texture — to help your piece really make an impact. Once you’ve polished it, Alanna shows you how to export and share your work on social media platforms.
